„The Hi-Hat Club“ is the brainchild of Cologne based label Melting Pot Music and photographer Robert Winter, who joined forces in order to shine a light on the art of beat-producing and it’s most promising protagonists. „The Hi-Hat Club“ producer series started off with LP’s by Testiculo Y Uno (Twit One & Hodn), Suff Daddy and Dexter. The concept of combining their critically acclaimed neo-boombap with Robert Winter’s stylised black & white aesthetics was immediately embraced by the international beat community.
For 2010 the Hi-Hat Club and its artists go on club tour. The tour is based on a promising concept for Hip Hop club events: DJ sets combined with live producing, hosting and singing, highlighted by a photo exposition. The result is an integrated aesthetic of vision and sound, a live close-up of todays beat generation and a highly entertaining club night.
The Hi-Hat Club artist pool is composed of a variety of DJs, live-acts and singers. The multitude of the roster guarantees a fresh and always exciting line-up.
